A/N This is a story I wrote about how I think Ed first met Al in the other world. It was kind of out of no where. I am not an experienced writer. I write/draw manga. Sooooo I guess I'm only good at dialogue. I was writing a Beta profile, because I was bored, and thought I'd love to read other peoples stories more. What I didn't know was that you had to have written at leat 6000 words or five stories. So I made this. This si my first story ever written so please be kind. :)
I OWN NOTHING
Third person POV
Edward Elric sighed to himself, where he laid half slumped agaisnt overflowing dumpster, in a dark alley way. The last twenty four hours were some of the hardest he had to endure in many years. Though in his mind were completely necessary, for his life and Al's. He didn't think he could live with with himself if Alphonse died still in that suit of armor. It would be completely his fault Nevertheless there he was doing the next worst thing. Living without Al, truth knows where. At least he was alive. The only thing keeping him from being pushed of the edge into indefinite insanity was the small hope that him sacrificing his gate saved his little brother.
-Ed point of view-
I shift myself into a more comfortable position, with much effort to inspected myself. Yep, just as I thought automail is trashed, Winry is going to kill me when she sees it… If I ever see her again. I laugh at my own dark joke. My pants are torn in many pieces, and I missing my favorite coat. My shoes look too worn for wear. I sigh. I'm a mess, and it didn't look like I was going anywhere anytime soon. I decided to weigh out my options. On one side, in a strange place, Injured, hungry, away from Alphonse, and have no money. On the other, I'm alive. I scoff, at least one good thing came from this. I honestly didn't know what would happen, after trying to bring Al back. Even more so after Truth told me I was wrong, I was almost sure I had died when I woke up here. Suddenly, a voice breaks my thoughts. I see someone nearing the corner of the alley way. I shrink back into my dumpster, trying my hardest not to be seen. After all I knew nothing about where I was, who knew what could happen.
"Yes, thank you!" Someone unintelligible answered him from a distance, "I have to go I'm going to be late, I'll take the short cut. Bye" He waved with a gentle smile on his face.
'I must be dreaming', I thought. 'This is a hallucination. It has to be'. I stare at the young man as he turned and started walking. He short hair, and a kind face. He wore a normal looking brown coat, with a scarf tucked in tight. I stayed silent, I couldn't make a noise in my shock. My leg slid down from it's curled hiding position, Knocking some garbage off the tall pile. The boy turned in my direction with questioning eyes.
"That cat again? Always causing trouble." He walked in my direction with clear intention of cleaning up the new mess, but turned wide eyed when he saw me. I shrink back as best as I can in my condition. He stares at me a second. "Hey mister?" Then he looks down and sees the blood that had been slowly trickling into a pool, and then at my leg as a kind of after thought. Quickly he takes off his scarf and pressed it against my shoulder with one of the more visible wounds.I grunt as the pain worsens with the pressure " What happened to you?" he asks "You're going to be okay. What's your name?" He started to talk very fast, and I couldn't understand him, blackness suddenly became apparent around the edges of my eyes. He looked at me and seemed to panic at my lack of response. Over his shoulder he calls for help. I see blurry figures rushing over. "Hey! Stay awake." he says urgently, shaking my shoulders
"Al?" I say, before everything slipped into a almost welcomed blackness. I could relax now that he was safe.
A/N : And it's done! my first story ever, please review ( I know everyone says that, but I'd really appreciate ) Also tell me if I should continue this story, I have a couple of ideas. Chapters would definitely get longer too, but I'll only do it if people want me to.
